MOST FAQs

We are collecting and answering questions about the form, implementation of the program, and other issues. This is a working document — keep checking back for updates! Some questions addressed:

  • Is there a Spanish version of the MOST?
  • What if we run out of slots to record reviews and there are no changes to the form?
  • Is it possible to select “NO CPR” and “Full Treatment”? What about “YES CPR” and “Comfort Measures Only”?
  • And much more!

New Spanish MOST Form, Front Page (updated April 2015)

The MOST is intended as a communication tool between the patient and healthcare providers and between healthcare providers themselves, such as nursing facilities and EMS. As English is the primary language of healthcare in Colorado, a Spanish-language MOST would not be helpful as a communication tool. The official MOST form, signed by a physician/APN/PA and patient or patient’s authorized surrogate decision maker MUST be the two-sided, English-language form. However, as a tool to facilitate discussion and reassure Spanish-speaking patients, we have created a Spanish version of the front side of the form. The Spanish version is not an actionable medical order; it is only to be used in discussion of choices.
